2 male Boko Haram bombers died in Maiduguri – Police

The Borno Police Command on Monday confirmed the death of two suspected bombers after another foiled attack in Maiduguri.

Mr Victor Isuku, the spokesman of the command, disclosed this in a statement in Maiduguri.

‘‘In the early hours of today (Monday), the bodies of two male bombers were discovered behind the perimeter fence of the University of Maiduguri, outskirt of Maiduguri town, whose death are reasonably believed to have been due to prematurely detonated explosives on their bodies before they could get to their target.

‘‘The bodies have since been evacuated by officials of the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to a specialist hospital,’’ Isuku said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that on April 8 two suspected female bombers died when one them detonated the Improvised Explosive Devise (IED) strapped to her body.
